Committee Decision

The Budget Committee recommends to the Executive Committee that:

 

1.         City Council approve the First Parliament site for the relocation of the St. Lawrence Branch currently slated to begin in 2016, to the First Parliament site at 271 Front Street East, subject to successful negotiation of the exchange of lands at 271 Front Street East and 25 Berkeley Street for 281 Front Street and 43A Parliament Street.

Origin
(November 19, 2012) Report from the City Librarian
Summary

The purpose of this report is to seek City Council approval for the First Parliament site at 271 Front Street East to be the future location for the St. Lawrence branch, which is slated for relocation with construction beginning in 2016.

Financial Impact

As the First Parliament site is under City ownership, Council approval is required to locate the St. Lawrence branch on the site.

 

The budget to relocate and expand the St. Lawrence branch is part of the Library’s 10-year capital plan, currently slated to begin in 2016. 

 

The Director, Finance and Treasurer has reviewed this financial impact statement and is in agreement with it.
